Get these Louise Elliot images

August 25, 2010 by Denise Felton Leave a Comment

Louise Elliott‘s amazing line art of twelve Animals of the World were created as coloring pages, but I think they would make perfect patterns for embroidery. You might stitch one on a soft blankie. Or stitch several and frame them for a wee one’s room. Or stitch them all and make them into a baby quilt. Go get the images — for personal use only, of course.

And many thanks to Melissa Goodsell of day to day blog for pointing out this lovely artwork.

Coloring in sheets are a great way to calm the busy mind, as you focus on the coloring techniques your brain is actually able to calm itself and focus on less. Coloring is used to help relax and calm anxiety and stress. Coloring keeps out mental health in check and allows us to develop of creative brain. We highly recommend Copic markers or Faber castell coloring pencils .
